Why take our Victoria Harbour Cruise?


If you want to take a boat tour in Victoria your options are either a tour of the Inner Harbour on a water taxi (or "pickle boat" as they're known) or there are the longer duration whale watching tours. Our 75 minute boat tour is the perfect middle ground - unlike the pickle boats, we go out of the harbour and cruise along the coastline, but it's only 1 hour 15 minutes, so it's less of a time commitment than a half-day whale watching tour.


  • Live commentary from local tour guides
  • Cruise along the coastline, out of the inner harbour (on our 75 minute tour)
  • 45 or 75 minute duration
  • Snacks and drinks available for purchase on board
  • Restroom on board
  • Comfortable seating with plenty of room
  • Transport Canada certified vessel and crew members
